Thank you Dan. As I listened I wished that the current Democratic Party had the strength that the black community had and continues to have. We are always telling the Republican congress to get a spine. Democratic Party are you standing tall and strong? Check out your posture when you look in the mirror. We need large rallies across the country organized by the party and let us know where and when to show up. Hope it’s not too late.

Good Day. I think diversion & division are the keys to what's actually happening in our National Government. (Then will come "The Brown Shirts")

The greatest and most powerful scam in history is happening in front of us, and the media helps promote it's lies constantly. A communist dictator, Putin. A racist white South African, Musk. A willing, mentally ill dunce, Donald tRump. China and North Korea may get in on this group as players also. These three have contrived to Literally Rule The World. Not one shot has been fired, but The United States is almost Completely Under The Control of These Criminals and their crimes against humanity. It progresses more each day. The courts are under their control. The Constitution has no meaning any more. New laws and rules are created daily. Anyone who supports them is actually working for them, in the conquest of America and ultimately, what may formally have been the "free world". RIGHT IN FRONT OF ALL OF US!!! No one does anything to Stop This. A Great Number of The American People ARE STUPID and FOOLED!! Will our Military ultimately Buckle to the Unlawful Orders From The White House?

Paul Revere Cried Out To Americans: "TO ARMS"! Obviously, that finally saved America.

Yes , I remember the historical event in our history.

Thank you , Mr. Rather, for sharing. Now, we must all come together as one human race who believes in Democracy, equality and justice for all. We must build a strong force against this evil.

I will never forget. I wanted to march but I was working, going to college, and putting my husband through college. These people who marched were heros. King was a HERO for century and forever.

A movement to help American Citizens is normally the correct approach to being an American Citizen.

If I understant the Republican Congressmen and women, as long as their king makes a statement they will applaud him and follow until their own demise.

Based on that, I have to gather that Since Mr. Trump, the current king of the Republican Party has stated that a recession is good for the Country and that the rising prices won't hurt people, i assume that the Speaker of the House representing the people of Louisiana along with the Senator from South Carolina applaud the price increases since Trump became President and that a recession will be good for the American Majority.

Since the current King of the Republican Party appears to change his mind frequently, how can the Republicans in Congress not consider that President Trump is not focused on the American Economy or the well-being of the Voting Populace.
